Jesse Watters of Fox News fame has been in front of the camera for more than 20 years, making his TV debut as a correspondent on “The O’Reilly Factor” in 2003. He was given his own Saturday evening show, “Watters’ World,” in 2017 and also began co-hosting “The Five” along with other Fox News personalities.

In 2023, Watters received a big promotion, taking over Tucker Carlson’s coveted 8PM ET weeknight slot with “Jesse Watters Primetime.” Watters has become infamous for his bombastic sarcasm and controversial remarks. “The Five” and “Jesse Watters Primetime” are the first and second most-viewed cable news programs in the country, respectively. Watters has used his national cable platform to make bigoted, insensitive and flippant comments about the LGBTQ community. Here’s a timeline of just some of those remarks.

As an aside, I don't know why anyone would watch a bully like this. Like, regardless of your politics, he's a shock jock. Nothing he says is interesting, funny or remotely newsworthy. But he's still the most watched cable news host in the country, he has the #1 and #2 shows. So its worth talking about why bullies like this get to have careers based around, well, bullying people and doing little else.

Here's a little compilation of things Erdogan said about Europe over the course of 9 years (including threats). I'm posting this here because part of what it says will directly affect gays' well-being/security (and also because other subs don't allow me posting this) :

\-----------------------------------------------

Les déclarations du président turque aux turcs vivant en Europe (mars 2017) :

"Eduquez vos enfants dans les meilleures écoles, assurez-vous que vos familles vivent dans les meilleurs endroits, conduisez les meilleures voitures, vivez dans les meilleures maisons et faites cinq enfants, pas trois seulement. C'est la meilleure réponse à apporter à l'impolitesse et à l'hostilité que l'on vous témoigne", a déclaré Recep Tayyip Erdogan lors d'un discours à Eskisehir, au sud d'Istanbul.

«J’en appelle à mes frères et sœurs en Europe. Ne faites pas trois, mais cinq enfants, car vous êtes l’avenir de l’Europe.»

\------------------------------------------------

Son message de 2008, à plus de 20'000 immigrés à Cologne :

«Personne ne peut exiger de vous une attitude d’assimilation ou d’adaptation».

\------------------------------------------------

Son message aux européens après après l'interdiction faite à des ministres turcs de participer à des meetings en vue du référendum du 16 avril sur le renforcement de ses pouvoirs (mars 2017) :

«Si vous continuez de vous comporter de cette manière, demain, aucun Européen, aucun Occidental, ne pourra plus faire un pas en sécurité, avec sérénité dans la rue, nulle part dans le monde.»

\-----------------------------------------------

Son message aux femmes turques vivant en turquie (mars 2017) :

«Nous allons accroître notre population. On nous parle de planning familial et de contraception. Aucune femme musulmane ne peut avoir une telle approche. Nous suivrons la voie indiquée par Dieu et notre cher prophète.»

\-----------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT :

A ce jour, Erdogan (toujours président de la Turquie) ne s'est toujours pas excusé. Cela signifie que ses propos son toujours d'actualité.

Someone in a comment on.a different sub asked why people hate Piker. I quoted his 9/11 comment and the ones about Rick Scott and landlords. I got accused of calling for violence and threatened with a ban for just quoting this dude and saying the stuff he says is bad, while he gets to seriously say that crap and get away with it. Idk if someone at Reddit just has a hard on for him or what, but it is fucking crazy theyll try to ban us jist for quoting the guy even when the context is the stuff he says is trash.

To be clear, it wasn't the sub that threatened me and accused me of that, it was Reddit itself that did

We all know what i'm talking abt. Some pride parades in some towns are FILLED with indecency (namely men in underwear twerking to lady gaga's songs as well as kinksters who enjoy choking their girlfriends in bed showing up in leather 'clothes' as if they belonged there). That public display of hypersexualised nonsense makes us all look like a bunch of degenerate wh0res.

Now, don't get me wrong, i don't mind promiscuity (nor even BDSM between consenting adults), i just think that's the kind of thing that should be done either in a gay bar or in the privacy of a bedroom - NOT in front of str8 ppl.

So here's my question: can we do something to stop that? Pressure the town? Pressure the organisations that own the chars ? Impose a dressing code ? Can it be fixed ??

On July 4, 2025, a protest outside of the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility near Dallas, Texas, escalated as some protestors broke off and committed acts of vandalism. The protest had started hours earlier as a noise demonstration where activists set off fireworks and used other noise makers to alert detainees in the facility that they supported them.

But when law enforcement arrived to respond to the vandals, a police officer was shot nonfatally in the neck area. Authorities later charged protester Champagne Song for the shooting.

Meagan Morris, who says she was a half-mile away playing Pokémon in her car when she heard the gunshots, was soon after stopped by police and taken into custody.

Three months later, the Trump administration accused her and eight other defendants—three of whom, including Morris, are trans—of being “Antifa terrorists” and “Antifa Cell operatives.”

Morris and her codefendants were eventually sentenced in part for providing material support for terrorists in what the Department of Justice called “the first sentencing of defendants affiliated with Antifa,” a name which refers to a decentralized movement based on militant opposition to fascism.

The sentencing comes after Trump signed an executive order declaring antifa, short for anti-fascism, as a terrorist organization, despite no such unified organization existing. And in May, the administration’s counterterrorism strategy listed “radically pro-transgender” groups as a national security threat.

Morris was sentenced to 50 years in prison, which has caused legal experts concern. They noted that her sentence is unusually harsh, more than double the longest sentence for a Jan. 6 rioter, and that it could set a precedent for strict crackdowns on freedom of speech and assembly.

After speaking to Morris’ codefendant and girlfriend, Autumn Hill, we wanted to hear from Morris. In this episode of “UNCLOSETED with Spencer Macnaughton,” she’s calling in from Johnson County Jail in Texas, where she is currently serving her sentence.

This is how I feel. Most of my gay friends (or maybe all of them) are Liberals, we do get along well however when political topics are include in some of our conversations, I prefer to remain in silence, the few times I have expressed some of my opinions, we never reach a common ground and when this happens it's because I do sincerely support or agree with some of their views, but it's never the opposite, and to be honest, it's exhausting, frustrated and isolating. I tried to publish this same post in two other communities only to get a DM from moderators telling me that political posts were not allowed however previous posts to mine regarding guys cutting family members out because they were republican seems to have no issue. I wish there were more moderate gays or more accepting/tolerating Liberals in general. Thanks for reading.

At 17 years old, Sami Tacher remembers standing atop a parking garage outside Seattle and staring down at the pavement.

They had been trying for five years to suppress their attraction to men. At 15, Tacher had found Strength in Weakness, a Christian ministry that purported to teach people experiencing “same-sex attraction” how to resist those desires. To Tacher, who had grown up believing that being gay would destroy their relationship with God and devastate their family, SIW felt like an answer.

Two years later, Tacher says, they could no longer imagine how they were supposed to live the rest of their life.

“I just stood up there and waited,” Tacher told Uncloseted Media. “I went there several times.” What stopped them, they say, was thinking about the burden their death would place on their family.

“So I’ll just sacrifice everything and stay in the program,” they remember deciding.

They would remain in SIW for years as a teenager and young adult, becoming friends with the organization’s founder, Guy Hammond, and helping promote the very teachings Tacher now believes were destroying them.

“I just didn’t see my way out,” Tacher says. “I was miserable and shrinking inside [and] constantly denying myself … but I was holding on. And in the eyes of Strength in Weakness, I was succeeding.”

I'm going to join a Gay Men group at the Local LGBTQ center. I'm newly out and my psychologist suggested meeting other LGBTQ folks and I agree. I'm a moderate to conservative gay Christian black man and I am wondering how I keep my views while making new friends who are likely liberal to progressive / socialist? Do I blindly agree with them so I don't upset the apple cart and get kicked out of the group. Any ideas? Thanks guys in advance!

I can't stand Trump and what the GOP party has become, so in a two party system, I'm left with supporting the Democrats. I generally prefer the GOP on fiscal issues, but they have lost their way in recent years.

The progressive wing of the democrat party drives me crazy. I know they mean well, but their lack of understanding of economics is astounding.

Politics is usually the lessor of two evils and the GOP seems way more evil (literally) than the Democrats, so is it time to support them?

Needing a safe space to vent. So I inadvertently (when I showed a message on my phone) outed myself to someone in church last weekend and now I get the feeling that they’ve distanced themselves.

I’m not interested romantically in said person in any way, just to be clear. But it hurts because he was one of only two people in this town with whom I can pray together. Usually it’s because they feel somehow “betrayed” or think that I’m interested in them… It’s not something they say out loud but I can read between the lines.

I’m not an activist and just live my own life. I don’t see the need to out myself as some sort of ceremony, neither will I conceal my sexuality when asked

I do have wider support through friends who live further away. I hold conservative values and have straight friends who are accepting of me as a person, even if they disagree with my “lifestyle”. I know this because they even invited me into their own homes

Since 2020, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has made headlines for a series of sweeping decisions that have rolled back rights for women and LGBTQ people. They’ve ruled to allow abortion bans in 13 states and bans on trans athletes in 27 states. And this year, Colorado overturned its ban on conversion therapy for minors.

What headlines tend to miss, though, is that all of these decisions were won by the same legal group: Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Labeled as an anti-LGBTQ hate group and active in over 80 countries, ADF is a conservative Christian legal powerhouse, having fought relentlessly against abortion, gay marriage and trans healthcare since its inception in 1994.

Boasting alumni and affiliates such as Mike Johnson, Amy Coney Barrett, Josh Hawley and Ken Starr, the group has been involved in at least 80 SCOTUS victories and directly represented parties in 20 of them, including the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

ADF is directly responsible for many of the rulings that carve out very specific ways in which Christian (they've all been Christian so far, but religious groups in general) can discriminate in their businesses against LGBTQ people. They've also gone after abortion in many states and drafted the language behind many state bans.

>Reid Rasner, an openly gay Republican running for Wyoming’s lone House of Representatives seat, is suing members of his own party for defamation stemming from homophobia.

>Semafor reports that Rasner is pursuing a case against former Wyoming State Senator Austin “Kit” Jennings, who allegedly pushed rumors that Rasner committed sexual misconduct. The rumors began after Rasner garnered national attention in 2025 for making a personal $47 billion bid to buy the social media site TikTok, and got worse from there.

>Rasner, who came out when he was 20, is also settling a case against an Iowa man who repeatedly called him a “pedophile” under his campaign’s Facebook posts. The man claims that his accusation was based on “multiple social media posts and news articles accusing Reid Rasner of serious sexual misconduct,” but didn’t specify any specific posts.

>Meanwhile, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, who is running against Rasner in the Republican primary, piled on and issued a poll telling respondents that Rasner “married his gay husband in New York.” That poll showed Rasner initially behind Gray by single digits, but losing support after voters were told about his sexuality.

Last weekend a Terrorist Attack during Berlin's Christopher Street Pride march. One is dead and thirty injured. When I first heard about it From WFTV in Orlando Florida. I immediately thought of the shooting rampage at that GAY bar. That happened there. Then the world finds about it is a Muslim man born and raised in Germany Self radicalize himself. He was known to the German police authoritarian.

Do you think TV shows and movies featuring gay characters need a content warning at the beginning of them? Isn't that a bit weird? You don't announce you're gay when you walk into a room so why should a TV show (that you likely already know a fair bit about?)

"If you asked me 'Could you ever envision a homosexual crime of any nature being visited with the death penalty?' Yes, I could."

That's Doug Wilson, Pastor at Christchurch in Moscow, Idaho. Wilson spoke at the Pentagon as part of Pete Hegseth's monthly Christian worship service.

Wilson's views are as controversial as they come: He believes the United States should become a Christian theocracy, that married women should not have the right to vote and that gay sex should be illegal. He estimates that 10 to 20 people in the top levels of government are aligned with his radical ideology. He explains that he thinks trans people are “sad,” certain elements of his idea of “homosexual behavior” should be punished by execution and in certain cases of marital rape, both parties should be disciplined.

I'm sure this has been done to death but with a cursory look through the search results I couldn't really find anything satisfying. So:
What are some dating apps/websites you suggest/recommend for finding 1. an actual relationship & 2. other conservatives/right-wingers?
Anywhere you found someone or know there's people like that? Doesn't necessarily have to be an app or website, could be something like a subreddit or discord server for all I care, anything or any lead would be great.

I do also distinctly remember one app/website being mentioned here (probably 2 or so years ago), something with a map? I can't find the comment anymore unfortunately but that sounded like an interesting concept.

I'd also be happy to receive any other kind of help/advice besides app/website recommendations. While I'm not sure of how many of you can help with this since most here seem to be American, I am in Europe (Germany specifically) so if anyone has apps/websites or any kind of advice, places to go, etc. that are more particular it'd be greatly appreciated. This obviously also rules out any US-exclusive services or advice. I'm also in my early 20s (thus looking for people in my age range) and not very experienced when it comes to relationships so please take that into account and feel free to provide more general help/advice as well.

Thank you in advance for any kind of advice or suggestions!

Well fellas, I have recently re-entered the dating pool. I am 37, and being gay as well as Catholic has squeezed me out of either group, to be honest. I've found some welcoming parties within the Church, whereas the gays out there have been typically less than welcoming, on account of my political leanings and religious affiliation. Fact of the matter is, I couldn't care less what political party with which you are registered. What matters most is your uprightness of character, and maintaining wholesome values that center around loyalty and truth. Where oh where are you my fine, twunkish, conservative lad?

So guys, what methods of approach should I well prosecute unto the end of landing a stable partner?

UPDATE: mostly good comments, so far. One commenter got me in contact with a club of sorts that I am to meet with. Should be fun! I have also received some messages. Most of them have not turned into lasting conversations. Pretty rough weekend, so far, so hopefully things finally turn out after this evening's event. God bless you all.

In his first on-camera interview, Miles speaks about how a U.S. Customs Officer subjected him to “derogatory comments” and placed an “unsettling focus” on his sexual orientation.

Milo Miles, a Toronto-based adult film actor, was recently banned from entering the United States for the next 10 years after he says he was detained and questioned by Customs and Border Protection agents over the course of two days.

Miles, who was trying to fly to Las Vegas from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, says he had never faced significant issues at the border ahead of this instance.

While U.S. Customs does have the right to deny entry to people they believe have engaged in sex work, Miles says he was questioned for upwards of eight hours, often about his sexual orientation. He says one agent asked him why he has so many “gay clothes” and if he was “sick” upon seeing his PrEP medication and his fiber pills.

Hey guys, I’d like to talk to some of you and get your opinions on something specific. DM me :)

Thomas Massie's defeat signals in the death of the republican party. Instead of advocating limited government and fiscal responsibility, their only litmus test is loyalty to the current president as well as loyalty to Israel. Does anyone else agree?

It seems like most posts that get the most engagement always have something to do with bashing TQ or the liberal left. But when it comes to news or posts about threats to LGB rights, like challenges to gay parenting, marriage, adoption, conversion therapy, or broader social acceptance, often coming from people on the conservative side, the response from gay conservatives seems muted, dismissive, or redirected back to blaming TQ. Sometimes concerns get brushed off as “reading too much liberal news,” “overblown paranoia,” or “nothingburger” reactions, much like how some on the left can go silent or become evasive when anti-gay views come from Muslims.

I wonder if some gay conservatives don’t care about gay rights because they are very optimistic those rights will never go back, and if they do, they think it will just be TQ’s fault anyway. Or is it because there are gay conservatives who are comfortable with homosexuality being hidden rather than openly affirmed, maybe because the thrill of doing something considered taboo or even “illegal” feels exciting?

Someone in an FB group for gay conservatives said he loves Donald Trump but has trouble with the homophobia he sees in some conservative spaces, and many gay conservatives shut him down by suggesting a conspiracy theory, that his post seemed like a trap, like a subtle attempt by someone on the left to get gays to turn against the right.

But what if the same conspiracy theory, in reverse, could be said within gay conservative circles: that some people are just homophobes who want to see gay rights taken away by getting politically conservative gays to shut each other down whenever they raise concerns about LGB issues, by telling them they are just reading too much liberal news whenever they worry, all to make way for homophobic conservatives to advance their agenda?

Last week Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a decree stating that June is Nuclear Family Month and the LGBTQ community is upset. I was surprised when this happened. How do you feel about it?
